I'm not so sure I'm really understanding the ventilation/CFM calculation. I'm using a 2x2x4 tent and according to the LxWxH calc. I would only need a fan rated for 16 CFM, which just seems absurdly low. I have this tent set up in my basement which is unfinished and more or less an open layout. On an average day it gets to about 25c and 30c on our hotest, and I keep it around 20-21c inside.
I have a MH/HPS cool tube setup that can go up to 600w and dim to 250w, what would be my best option here? If I can control the heat, crank it all the way up to 600? Another issue I have is the vent holes on the tent are only 4in, while the cooltube is 6in. Should get a 4in inline fan/duct or 6in and just use flange adapters, and how many CFM should I be looking for with this setup?
Edit; sorry, 2x2x4=16/3, so really i'd only need about 5 CFM, according to that. That makes no sense to me?
Ah my bad. I'm not taking into account the heat/btu output. I'm struggling to find a decent calculation for that though.
